Skills & Areas of Advice
Qualifications
I am a Mortgage, Protection & Equity Release Adviser based in the Beal’s Office in Gosport and covering the local area, including Lee-on-the-Solent. I also have many long term clients based all over the country.
I qualified in 1999 in Financial Planning, specialising in Mortgages and Protection and carried on further qualifications in 2002 with the Mortgage Advice Qualification, a diploma in Financial Planning in 2010 and Equity Release in 2017.
I can arrange all types of mortgages for clients, First Time Buyers are my favourite, helping them get on the property ladder and explaining and leading them through the process.I also have a good knowledge of the buy to let market and can arrange mortgages both for individuals and limited companies and look to find the most suitable deal to fit the situation.
Equity release mortgages have a place in the market today, together with mortgages into retirement and options for the older clients to borrow as well as the young.
Regular updates and a good network keep us up to date with the changing market and current deals available, enabling us to give the best advice for our clients and remain professional at all times.
